we're just at the beginning of a very long struggle for syria. >> what are our options in syria? >> aaron is actually right. i was in lebanon in beirut. i went to the south and inside syria for three days in july. it's true. the civil war will outlive bah sha -- bashar al assad. all the minorities are fearing today. they're, of course, pro-assad, simply because they fear the hard core islamist element within the free syrian army is what's blocking them from major defection. they feel their interests will be actually threatened in the future. they will not -- they are not willing to join them for a reason. they know there will be retaliation against them. not for what they did with assad, for who they are. the army today and their leader need to come out publicly and say that there will be a formula of power sharing for the future of syria for a post-assad era that include them and not exclude them. they need to understand that they will be safe and be protected. >> so enjoyed this insightful conversation. thanks to both of you. >>> coming up, a major tea party player stepping asi
